From the publisher: "THE ESKIMO GIRL AND THE ENGLISHMAN is a sequel to the delightful story Once UPON AN ESKIMO TIME, which recounts the remarkable life of Minnie and her Eskimo mother as she comes of age in a traditional village on Alaska's western coast. Resuming the tale on the day Minnie encounters her first white man, THE ESKIMO GIRL AND THE ENGLISHMAN relates the next century of Minnie's adventurous life -- painting a picture of early twentieth-century village life as Minnie and her Englishman marry and find the determination, strength, and courage to live life in the face of tragedy, rapidly changing technology, and unrelenting hardship along the Bering Sea. Accompanied by [a map and a few] photographs of early Eskimo village life, the narrative poignantly captures a sense of a long-lost way of life on the Seward Peninsula.". First Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. xii, 156pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Michael Bond - the man behind Paddington Bear
“All the same ... it’s a very important name. And I don’t expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!”
A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.
